The idea is a blog that blends topics that interest my friends and I: Progressive politics, science, and technology

Like the science and tech bits, could do without the progressive politics bit. As a libertarian, I find that I agree with progressives on a few things; but there's an air about most (not all!) self-styled progressives that annoys me.

Yeah that is one potential problem, turning people off with politics. Really I think Progressives serve the science and technology sectors better than any other party/political group though, which is why we decided in the end to put these three topics together
